Good afternoon PCS Forum, and hello again, its been a good while!
Mum is in need of a new laptop, so thought I would gauge the advice of the experts.
I think I have left in the relevant specs that need ironing out etc.
She likes to have a large display, so the 17" looks the best option in the "Lightweight" section.
Beyond that, I am open to suggestions regarding CPU, RAM and SSD.
Not sure her needs could possibly require an i7, so that should be ok.
Really no idea about which RAM to choose. This is for browsing, emails, photos etc, so no high end processes going on.
I like the idea of an SSD this time around. I am sure any future storage issues can be dealt with an external HDD down the line. However, I think this is one where I might go up a bit, and get a larger SSD than the standard, even just up to 256 or 512, as they don't add THAT much more to the price. But not sure if there is a downside to a larger SSD or not.
Any thoughts or input are greatly appreciated.
Cheers all
